any that ive tried all suck. they work good for the first week or so after i put them on, then it rains and i am dissapointed in their wiping ability and resistance to smearing, i am now a big fan of Rain-x, i rarely use my wipers.
although, i did see some on tv that looked awesome, they have a lifetime warranty on the wipers, not just the metal part like other brands, but a full warranty on the rubber blade too. now...if i could only remember what brand they were...

I bought the Bosch "Micro Edge" advanced wiper system. What a fargin' joke, the only thing advanced about them was the price. They were O.K. for about two months and now they are in worse shape then the stock ones were after a year. I'll never buy any bosch windshield wipers again and would never reccommend them to anybody. Surely there must be a decent wiper blade out there somewhere. Does anybody have a suggestion?

i got a set of the bosch micro edge wipers about 4 months ago and they are working great. every morning when i get out to drive,i just run my fingers along the rubber to clean it, and use plenty of fluid when you use them. mine are working great.

I have never owned wiper blades where I have to "run my fingers along the rubber to clean it" every fargin' morning and will never buy these shoddy blades again. They don't even scrape the damn bugs off, either. The blades are about as usefull as teats on a boar.

i wasnt talking about a major cleaning every morning, just get the pollen and leaves away from the blades. this way there will be nothing to streak on the windshield.
